1208.3117 (F. Castles et al.)

Stretchable liquid crystal blue phases    [PDF]

F. Castles, S. M. Morris, J. M. C. Hung, M. M. Qasim, H. J. Coles
We report the fabrication of a stretchable blue phase in a cross-linked liquid crystalline system. A 20-micron-thick film was reversibly stretched by up to 1.5 times its initial length. A concomitant blue-shift of the selectively-reflected color was observed.
